It is about time for some ONLY IN SEATTLE

1. Only in Seattle can you put your coins through the coin machine at the grocery store and without a percentage being charged, you can have it turned into a Starbucks card.

2. Only in Seattle where we have one of the highest boat ownerships in the nation if not the highest, is there a virtual parade of SUV's pulling boats on Friday nights from storage units to driveways for the weekend outings.

3. Only in Seattle where Jones Pop is bottled is it the latest rage among teen-agers to drink and get advice from the bottle cap's little message. Thank goodness they now have diet black cherry and diet root beer.

4. Only in Seattle when looking at what fish are legal to fish for and in what area crabbing is legal, do they refer to a shipwreck as a marker. There is an old shipwreck on the beach on the border of Mukilteo and Edmonds so "north of the shipwreck" you can fish for such 'n such and "south of the shipwreck", etc. Actually, if I remember correctly, there is a creepy guy who lives in a nearby shack and claims to own the shipwreck.

5. Only in Seattle from the Seattle waterfront and up through Mukilteo can you see the cruise ships head out to sea on Saturday night at about 5:30. There are three huge white monsters.
